Report: Favre to get $12 million for one year

That matches the amount Favre earned in 2008 with the Jets, and it’s only $1 million less than what Favre was due to make under the final year of his contract, which the Jets acquired last year via trade.

Cole’s report contradicts past suggestions that Favre would receive an incentive-based contract that paid him based on his ability to play and/or his success.

UPDATE: ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that it actually will be a two-year deal, but that as a practical matter it will operate as a one-year arrangement. Mort also reports that the contract has been in place for two months, indirectly backing up our late June report that created a mini-ruckus.

Like I said from the start….it is not about the money. He wants the consecutive start record currently held by Jim Marshall and he wants it bad. I can only hope he gets knocked out by the Packers before he reaches that goal….pure Shakespeare.

Hurricane Favre is headed straight for Minny and Im now officially a storm chaser.
To all of the Favre haters out there…I used to be just like you but Ive seen the light and realized that this crazy motherf_cker is never going away so Im just gonna sit back and wait til his arm falls off and in a moment of desperation attempts to throw left handed at which point the world realizes what many of us have known for far too long now…..He is still better than Sarge and Travariousness.
Lets get this party started.

That $12Mill is gonna buy a TON of Vicodin. Hey…wait a pun on Vikings and Vicodin.
Headline: “Farve is the Vikes Vicodin” (as in, pain killer), you know…cause they are in pain from having terrible QBs.

Although the Vikings’ receivers leave a LOT to be desired, one man who must be jumping with joy is AP. He could shatter all rushing records this season, because no more 8 in the box. Just ask Thomas Jones how much of a difference a competent QB is to the running game.

Has anybody heard the news the Favre might still play for the Vikes? LMFAO……
I gotta be honest, the Vikes are a SB favorite right now with Jackson or Rosenfels, adding Favre probably takes them out of the playoff picture altogether. Bears, Lions, and Packers fans are all rejoicing…….

I have never been a Packer fan, but since they don’t play the Bills this year all i gotta say is
GO PACKERS I HOPE CAMPMAN COMES OFF THE EDGE IN WEEK 4 AND DESTROYS FAVRE’S QUEST FOR THE ALL TIME STREAK.

Jay Glazer is the man because he stands up to everyone (usually ESPN) that treats him like he’s a sideshow act, when he actually has legit sources. He called this shot yesterday. Glad to see Florio hasn’t casted him off since joining forces with NBC and instead supported him. I love this site.

I am a Bears fan but I can tell you of two games this season where I will be cheering for Packers. Hell I may go on line and by myself one of those cheese hats just to wear it for those two games. I hope someone burries that douchebags head into the frozen tundra. This guy is one of the biggest turds of all time.

Enjoy it while it lasts Queens fans. Just a thought, let’s just say old flip floppin’ Favre gets you a Super Bowl trophy – who’s going to get all the credit for it?
I’m lovin’ this. This is a no win situation for the Vikes. They have to win the Super Bowl otherwise this was a wasted year/deal. And to top it off, their QB situation will be even worse off next season.

everyone in philly should be smiling now… with this old man coming back, it will dominate the headlines now and shift everything away from vick.
i never thought i’d say these words, but… thank you brett favre

so lets see,
3 teams in 3 years,
the last 2 years ending with brutal INT’s
signing with a team so he doesnt have to do the work the rest of the team is doing?
leading the league in INT’s, singlehandedly being the reason the JETS missed the playoffs, and gettin 12 million?
…. whew! at least us Packer fans know the division is locked up!
and Florio, what has happened to Schefter? ESPN has brainwashed him. Im pretty sure he just called the Vikings the favorites in the NFC 3 times in 2 different interviews. NOT TO MENTION he compared Percy Harvin and Berrian to Antonio Freeman, Robert Brooks and Dorsey Levens…

Wow! I gotta say I was done with Favre three weeks ago and don’t respect the way he handled this whole sittuation but it is what it is and if the man wins games he’ll quickly gain the respect of Minnesota Vikings fans and players. Skol.

If the packers or bears don’t get him – I hope that either James Harrison or Lamar Woodley crush him in week 7 in Pittsburgh! of course they have to make sure he stays in the game long enough for a few picks first!

@ gameday:
You truly must be a masochistic to predict your Chargers to get their hearts broken for the 3rd time in 4 years in the plays.
That, or delusional. 4 of your NFC picks and 3 of your AFC picks aren’t even playoff teams.
Keep on hoping the old man and the dog torturer get it done. Not happening. Good luck

Let’s face it, Farve was just jealous about all the attention Mike Vick has been getting the past few days. Farve misses the attention and now he’ll steal some of the fire that was being reserved for a 4th string quarterback on a depth chart. Good luck Farve, I hope the Eagles see you in the NFC Championship game so you can throw us some int’s!
E.A.G.L.E.S EAGLES!!!!!!!!

vikings fans are just happy that his jerseys will make a bunch of money and delay the move of their team for another few years. what i don’t get is how there can be so many obnoxious vikings fans on this board when in reality they don’t always sell out their games and tickets are always available. if they care as much as they project, why could i buy season tickets to these clowns by simply dialing the phone?

I’ll be the Vikings don’t make the playoffs. Favre will prove he has nothing left in the tank, by adding to his already prodigious interception record.
Favre just wants to extend his consecutive game streak. He already showed that last season. He’s playing for purely selfish reasons. I never believed he was actually going to retire this season, and neither did Favre. He just didn’t want to go through training camp.

lets think. the best running game in the NFL. now add Harvin. wow!!! favre doesnt have to do much. just manage the game. remember what Peterson does to all of you in the NFC. He’s who we rely on, we wont need to rely on favre. He’s just a bonus

Did we call it or what?
Desperation is a helluva drug.
Bratt comes calling and the Queens immediately drop two things:
1. whatever fleck of dignity they may have had remaining
2. to their knees
Favre can now look down, wink and smile at himself in the reflection off Chilly’s bald dome, saying to himself:
“You did it, big guy–you’re the best. They’ll ALL love you now. More importantly, they’ll all talk about you, you gunslinging pill-popping stud. Hey! Who told you you could stop and come up for air?!? Get back to work!”
I’ve said it a trillion times:
There’s not a chance in a hell the Queens organization will be able to cope with the ensuing drama and media sh1tstorm onslaught. Distraction will ravage the season.
You better just come to terms with it now, my Purple Fairies:
Favre’s EGO is now in the driver’s seat, and the rest of your team/organization/fanbase are just along for the ride.
(It’s fun now, but the crash is imminent).
If the goal this season was to sell tickets and jerseys…well then: congratulations, suckers.
One of you born every minute.
It’s a shame you had to sell your souls over to the sworn mortal enemy and the media-wh0re extraordinaire in order to do it.
Meanwhile, the blind, fanatical, delusional hype spit out by Florio and his ilk will continue to mount and mount, until it reaches it’s deafening, ubiquitous apex–only to be followed by the annual, expected, precipitous drop-off into a thunderous thud of disappointment. KLUNK.
(interception)
So, enjoy it while it lasts–lap up all those gratuitous unimaginative “NFC favorites” and “lock for the Super Bowl” lines that idiots like Schefter and King of Peters will be falling over themselves to spew ad nauseum…everyone in the dumb flock-of-pigeons-mentality-minded media (who loves liars and scumbags these days) will hitch their wagon to Favre’s shooting star.
Except history tells us–that star always shoots downward, then burns out.
Favre = the best off-season acquisition the Bears (or Pack) could have hoped for.
You you poor dumb desperate bastards think YOU’Re excited?
This is fixing to be the mother of all trainwrecks, (Favre at the controls), and I for one CAN’T WAIT to laugh at the wreckage and dance in the carnage.

Confirms my pick of Packer’s D as backup fantasy D – at least those two weeks. Seriously, is anyone really surprised? The Vikes would really satisfied w/ either Jackson or Rosenfels and not looking at anyone else? Talk about your all-time worst kept secrets. I guess 12 million buys plenty of solid handoffs to AP. Let’s move on to the (serious) discussions on the Vikes being your solid Super Bowl contender out of the NFC. Here’s to seeing Minnesota versus Philly in the NFC championship – what a friggin’ circus that would be.

Vick is not Favre. The only reason for Vick’s attention is because he served time in prison and the Eagles signed him up because no other team would take him. He needed a job. As a quarterback he is not as good as Favre and I don’t believe that the Eagles will be in the Su;per Bowl because Goodell should have given Vick the same rights as all the other players. If you reinstate a former player then he should be playing on the field. Then they could have a chance at the Super Bowel. Goodell gave too many instructions to Vick as to what he can do and not do personally. Goodell is not the best commissioner for football. I also believe the Vikings can make it with Favre. 39 years old is not that old. And Goodell wasn’t good to Favre.

The Queens now have an interception King! A match made in heaven!
The only bad thing about all this is that we’ll now have to pay bonuses to our backfield due to all the interceptions they’ll pick off. Good thing we’ve got cap room!
Go Pack Go!!!

I am happy that Mike Singletary was chosen for coach of the 49er’s. I like Singletary and he was a fantastic player with the bears, very well respected. He knows how to train his player’s well and there is a possibility the 49er’s could make it to the Super Bowl and maybe the Bears with all the attention that Cutler received lately. I think it is in bad taste to severely downgrade any player because all player’s have made their mistakes. No one is perfect in sports. In time their perfection has an ending. Just ask Tiger Woods. And he is a great golfer. Favre is a great quarterback but an end will come also. Montana was a great quarterback and brought the 49er’s to several Su;per Bowls. I love watching football. Its the number one sport with me. We had two great surprising Super Bowls with both Manning brothers winning back to back. All I can say to you is if your team is in the Su;er Bowl and don’t win just be glad they won the chance to play. Don’t be mad at them show some congradulations that they got that far.

Could some one flush Dewy Axehole’s toilet (his last post) for him…the copious amount of dung that he just spewed in that post probably represents the entire essence of him. I couldn’t care less about the Vikings but I hope that they crush your team’s sorry butts so that you have to slink away from here like the loser that you are. You might as well become a Pats fan, since you have their pathetic self-righteous demeanor down pat already.
